Review: Antstream Arcade (PS5 App)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Swimmingly Amazing Arcade Experience For Ants And By Ants!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Downlo10

Antstream Arcade is a retro gaming subscription service app for the PS4 & PS5 that has nearly 1500 titles available in its library at the time this review was written and counting with 2-5 games being added to this service every single week, but is the line-up worth the yearly or lifetime subscription price-tags? We think so, but you'll have to read the rest of our review to find the answers to this question!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_3810

Antstream Arcade's selection of titles aren't just obscure ones as there are hundreds of heavy-hitters in the lineup and this includes home console, computer, and handheld retro titles as well which is pretty amazing for such an affordable subscription service! The greatness doesn't even end there, no not even close as every game offers save states as well as button-mapping which is fantastic to say the least!

There are also tournaments and challenges to take-on as well as leaderboards to really test your gaming Chops! Doing well in these earns you tokens that allow you to continue taking on challenges or unlock new ones to tackle! While limited right now, we hear that the whole app will be entirely revamped in early-2025 with loads of new functions and features, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_3910

The UI of the app is very sleek and works incredibly well, though the search function admittedly isn't the greatest or most accurate at present, though we imagine it too, will be revamped in the upcoming update that's launching in early-2025! As for your user profile there's some decent options available to subscribers, however the avatar and profile customization is quite barebones at the moment, but this is also going to be changed with tons of new customization options as well as winnable profile avatars, backgrounds, and more in the early-2025 update!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_3710

Bottom-Line: With a boatload of great games, smooth service with few issues not attributed to issues on your end, a great UI, and tons of QoL features such as save states and button-mapping, Antstream Arcade is one service we can't recommend enough to fans of retro gaming and as such we give the app a near-perfect level of recommendation!

Review: Land of Mushrooms (PS5 PSN) Mini


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Fungus Among Us!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Header10

Developed and published by Source Byte games, Land of Mushrooms for the PS5 is a decent puzzler that has fun gameplay, and while it might not be a GOTY contender, it is a title well worth looking into and here's why:

Topics tagged under ps5 on  20241110

The gameplay in Land of Mushrooms is fairly simple and straightforward, you must drop mushrooms into the jar, and merge them together while keeping every mushroom in the jar as long as possible to rack up the points! The game isn't lengthy and doesn't have a ton of modes, but what's there is well worth its price of admission.

The audiovisual-presentation is pretty good with pleasant sfx, and excellent music tracks, overall this might be the game's single best aspect by a nautical mile!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  20241111

Bottom-Line: With solid gameplay, a low price, and excellent audiovisual-presentation, Land of Mushrooms for the PS5 is a decent game for its price and as such we give the game a solid-level of recommendation!

Review: My Time At Sandrock (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sandstorms, Sandfish, and a Sandy Oasis Oh My!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Mtas-s10

Developed by Pathea Games and published by Team 17, My Time At Sandrock is a sequel of sorts to the previous game in the series My Time At Portia and has quite a few new gameplay elements and features than its predecessor, but does this make the game a worthwhile sequel? Not initially, but the game received a few game-changing updates that make this Switch title worth checking out, so continue reading our review to learn why!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Mtas-s10

The gameplay in My Time At Sandrock is a superb mix of life sim, and RPG with a reasonably enjoyable story and lovable characters who truly grow as individuals as the overarching story advances! The world itself is quite vast and there's lots to do, including helping to revitalize the town by building improvements, farming, fishing, battling enemies, and much more!

The game's story can easily clock-in at over 60 hours in length, but the game itself can be infinitely longer since its life-sim elements mean that the game is never truly over! The controls are easy to learn and master, and the game's difficulty is quite relaxed, as any life-sim title should be!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Duck-110

The audiovisual-presentation in My Time At Sandrock is excellent by indie game standards especially after the graphical overhaul the game received back in March that put the Switch version's visuals in-line with the next-gen console versions of the game! The game also has a pretty steady frame-rate which is surprising given the visuals and scope of the game, but a pleasant surprise at that!

As for the audio side of things? The soundtrack is superb and fits the game spectacularly and the voice acting is also top-notch which adds a lot to the overall audiovisual-presentation of the game! Overall My Time At Sandrock has a stellar audiovisual-presentation!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Mtas-s12

Bottom-Line: With great gameplay, flawless controls, and a stellar audiovisual-presentation, My Time At Sandrock for the Nintendo Switch is a great life-sim that is well worth its asking price and as such we give the game a great-level of recommendation!

Review: Metro Quester ~ Osaka (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Manga Quester Too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  29241510

Developed by Thousand Games and published by KEMCO, Metro Quester: Osaka is a sequel to the original Metro Quester title that was a truly fantastic experience in our books! But does Metro Quester: Osaka live up to its predecessor? We think so, so be sure to continue reading our review to find out why:

Topics tagged under ps5 on  17645610

The gameplay is quite unique in this dungeon crawling JRPG series, with incredibly unique visuals and game mechanics that culminate into an absolute masterpiece with a truly incredible atmosphere that will hook gamers of all kinds and rightly so!

The game's a bit challenging, but mostly well-balanced, and there's a decent amount of content that'll take players 30+ hours to fully beat which is well worth its asking price. The controls are also intuitive and easy to learn which is always a good thing in our opinions!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  62157210

The soundtrack is highly atmospheric and fits the mood of the game perfectly. The character and enemy designs are gorgeous as are the highly unique visuals which doesn't fail to impress!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  57952010

Bottom-Line: With unique gameplay, excellent audiovisual-presentation, and fantastic controls, Metro Quester: Osaka is a top-notch dungeon-crawler that is well worth adding to any JRPG fan's library of games and as such we give the game a great level of recommendation!

Review: Ys X ~ Nordics (PS5 Retail)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Hidden Treasure Ahoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Ys-x-n10

Developed by Nihon Falcom Games and published by NIS America, Ys X: Nordics is the tenth mainline game in the long-running Ys series, and changes up the way you explore and battle in many ways compared to previous entries in the series, but does this title live up to its predecessors or does it fall a bit short? Continue reading our review to find out!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Ys-x-n11

The story of Ys X: Nordics is great as expected with plenty of adventure and intrigue as is always the case in this series, and this entry does not disappoint in the slightest! The gameplay adds a lot to the formula this time around with ocean exploration, and a unique battle system that allows both main party members to fight as one in a unique twist to the  formula that links both protagonists in battle allowing for joint attacks, dual skills, united defense, and other nuances such as bosses with armored HP bars that can't be damaged until you break their armor gauge among other new gameplay mechanics!

The game is pretty long as well clocking in at 60+ hours in length so expect to set aside quite a few sessions for this title! The controls are easy to learn, but can take time to fully master since the battle system has been revamped and feels like a wholly new series as a result. As for the difficulty, the game's got a bit of a learning curve, but in-general it's not too difficult even at the higher difficulty settings, so expect a bit of a challenge at times, but nothing that'll bar your ability to progress further into the game!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Ys-x-n12

The audiovisual-presentation in Ys X: Nordics is as fantastic as expected from a Falcom game with a soundtrack that fits the game's mood to a tee, as well as top-notch voice acting, and gorgeous character and enemy models that look absolutely incredible and the game's world looks just as good aesthetically in our opinions! Overall the game's audiovisual-presentation is flawless in our opinions!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Ys-x-n13

Bottom-Line: With a superb story, excellent gameplay, great controls, a decent amount of content, and a flawless audiovisual-presentation, Ys X: Nordics is a fantastic RPG that is well worth adding to your game library and as such we award the game a perfect level of recommendation to all PS5 JRPG fans!

Review: Megaton Musashi W: Wired (Switch Retail)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Megaton Splashing Onto The Nintendo Switch!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  900x_214

Megaton Musashi W: Wired for the Nintendo Switch is one of the best mecha-themed JRPG's that we've ever experienced! It's well up there with the legendary PS2 Gundam JRPG MS Saga: A New Dawn which is some high praise for sure! The gameplay feels akin to the musou sub-genre with twitchy hack and slash battles just with a lot more actions and skills, as well as first person skills that add some TPS genre elements in as well, however there's a lot more to the game than just the combat side of things, though the combat is a blast to play!

There's a load of customization options, between parts, weapons, hoverboards, boosters, decals, paint, and more, you can create your dream mecha and pilot it in battle! The game has tons of in-game achievements that unlock a plethora of rewards. Most of your important functions can be accessed from your in-game phone via apps or by visiting the appropriate shops and other establishments!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Ss_aab10

The story is pretty amazing though some of the themes are quite dark or downright bizarre as one of the characters loves cats maybe a little bit too much, but we digress! There are also side stories that showcase character growth or a new side of characters you seldom see in the main story! These can be quite fun to watch at times for sure!

The game's missions are where the main meat of the game resides, and it honestly has a good bit of variety. There are sub-missions, free missions "letting you replay key story missions", Dreadnaught Missions which are harder and usually beefier missions, shelter missions, and more offering tons of replayability! There's a point in the game where you gain access to a second main protagonist for a split story that you can switch back and forth between, however that second route is only available temporarily so be sure to finish that before you progress too far in the main story, otherwise you'll miss a good chunk of the story permanently!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Megato10

The online modes allow you to take part in online matches and ranked matches in the coliseum as well as taking on quests together with other players! All of this is indeed a blast to take part in, however there are very few active players online meaning that it may take 30+ minutes to get a full party together, which is certainly unfortunate, but there's also another issue, which is that online coliseum matches can only be tackled with coliseum exclusive parts and weapons many of which can only be obtained in the coliseum mode making it hard to be competitive against already established players. Luckily however, you won't really miss much content wise if you completely blow-off playing online multiplayer, so it's not something we'd dock points for.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  900x_215

The audiovisual-presentation of Megaton Musashi W: Wired is quite impressive with a great art style during story sequences and the locations you can travel to on foot, and gorgeous yet sad apocalyptic battlefields to blast away the alien menaces in the game! The UI is extremely fluid and looks fantastic and the battles themselves rarely ever suffer framertate issues, however once in a blue moon you might encounter a brief dip in frames followed by the game crashing. While this only happened to us twice in over 200 hours of gameplay, it was quite annoying having to restart a story chapter over again because we forgot to save for a couple hours.

And lastly the audio side of things was fantastic! With full Japanese voice acting, and a wide-array of fantastic music, especially the collaboration tracks from Getter Robo and more, this is easily our GoTY so far and is well-deserving of a near-perfect score only hampered by a very rare, albeit annoying crash that can occasionally occur randomly...

Topics tagged under ps5 on  900x_312

Bottom-Line: With flawless gameplay, a superb yet sometimes quirky story, great online functionality that could use more active players, and an absolutely amazing audiovisual-presentation, Megaton Musashi W: Wired for the Nintendo Switch is well-deserving of a perfect score, however a rare crash in the game drops its score just a tad, but is nonetheless our current top contender for GoTY 2024 as we give this game a near-perfect level of recommendation!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Shin-m10

Atlus announced that a new updated version of Shin Megami Tensei V will be releasing on Switch, PS4, and PS5 on June 21st 2024 during this morning's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase! This is essentially the "Golden or Royal" equivalent of the game and will have new characters, locations, and story scenes throughout the game as well as an entirely new epilogue chapter. Unfortunately it likely means that the new content will only be available if you purchase this version of the game rather than as DLC for the original Shin Megami Tensei V. You can watch the announcement trailer below!



What do you think of this exciting announcement? Would you prefer this to be offered as traditional DLC instead of a separate release? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in our comments section below!

Review: Knights of Grayfang (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Knights of Grayfang...ENGAGE!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_2910

Developed by Exe-Create and published by KEMCO, Knights of Grayfang is yet another rock-solid retro-style JRPG by the prolific games publisher KEMCO! Does this game hold up well against its predecessors already available on the Nintendo Switch console? We think so and here's why:

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Keywwo10

The story in Knights of Grayfang is the game's strong-point with excellent storytelling, superb character development, and a very interesting plot which is always a good thing! The gameplay should feel quite familiar if you've played a lot of KEMCO's previous titles, but everything is improved upon from the o0lder titles.

The game has much more intricate puzzles than we've seen in previous KEMCO JRPG's which is enjoyable. The controls are intuitive and easy to learn as expected from a KEMCO title. The game's difficulty is pretty easy for the most part, but gets a bit challenging in the later part of the story. The game is also fairly lengthy clocking in at around 35 hours in length.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Knight10

As for the audiovisual presentation? Well the pixel graphics are done exceedingly well in this KEMCO release and look like something straight out of the SNES or GBA. The world is has quite a few details as do the character and enemy sprites which is nice! And as for the audio-presentation, the sound effects are handled quite well and the soundtrack fits the game perfectly, there's really not much else to say here.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_3110

Bottom-Line: With a unique story, good gameplay, flawless controls, and a great retro-style audiovisual-presentation, Knights of Grayfang for the Nintendo Switch is great JRPG in its own right and as such we highly recommend adding it to your library of games if you're a fan of the genre!

Review: Ray'z Arcade Chronology (Switch Retail)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ray'z Your Hand'z In Excitement!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Rayz-a10

Developed by TAITO and M2, published by ININ Games, and with public relations by PR Hound, Ray'z Arcade Chronology for the Nintendo Switch is a faithful port of three legendary TAITO arcade shmups that are among the best games in the genre as well as HD Remasters of two of the included games! Have these ports withstood the test of time, and how good are the two included HD Remasters? As always, continue reading our review to find out the answers to the all-important questions!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Rz10

The overall UI presentation of the menus and in-game gadgets for the included games are clean and very informative which is a given if you know how TAITO arcade shmups operate, and we couldn't be more thrilled! The gameplay of all of the included games are faithful to their original arcade releases and still feel wonderful to play all of these decades later!

The games are quite action-oriented, but not bullet hell in nature, rather more in line with TAITO's other major Shmup series Darius, which we also reviewed the ININ collections for that series extremely favorably! The games also feature built-in achievements which is a nice touch for sure. The games also vary in length from about 30-45 minutes long to a whopping 3 hours in-length with multiple paths easily giving this collection 30+ hours of replay value for completionists!

The only downside to this collection is that it lacks bonus features such as artwork and other extras that other collections from ININ possessed, but it doesn't really negatively affect our opinions of the game all that much.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Rz_210

The games control amazingly well and feel as fluid as they did in the arcades way back when! As for the visuals? The games range from 2D to 3D, and look gorgeous with excellent enemy and ship designs, flashy and awe-invoking special effects, and gorgeous scrolling effects that have aged like fine-wine! The HD Remasters included really pop in HD with sharper image quality, and vastly improved backgrounds and special effects that look fantastic even by today's standards!

And lastly the games' soundtracks are as exceptional as they are varied and they fit the mood of what's going on on-screen extremely well. Overall the audiovisual-presentation is absolutely top-notch!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Large_78

Bottom-Line: With flawless gameplay, excellent replay value, great controls, and a top-notch audiovisual-presentation, Ray'z Arcade Chronology for the Nintendo Switch is a must-have collection for any/all fans of the SHMUP genre and despite lacking some of the bonus features you'd expect from a collection of arcade classics such as this one, the games are so well-done that this one gripe just barely lowered our score of this otherwise perfect collection! As such we give Ray'z Arcade Chronology a nearly perfect level of recommendation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score: ★★★★★★★★★¾ 9.75/10

Review: Raging Bytes (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Raging Good Time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oip_2310

Developed by Hit-Point and published by KEMCO, Raging Bytes is a huge departure from KEMCO's more traditional fantasy-based retro-styled JRPG's they are best-known for, but it's a welcome breath of fresh air for sure! Continue reading our review to find out why we enjoyed this game so much!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Th_110

Raging bytes at its core is a hybrid combination of the JRPG and survival horror genres and does a fantastic job at blending the two genres together harmoniously! The story is dark with many interesting characters and a stylish presentation that looks amazing and sets the atmosphere for the game's horror setting.

The gameplay loop has you finding items and survivors to help you survive the apocalypse while battles are conducted in more traditional JRPG flair. This works better than we ever would have imagined and was executed flawlessly in this game! The game is fairly short clocking in at under 20 hours in length and the controls are intuitive and easy to use!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Raging11

The soundtrack in Raging Bytes is fantastic and every single song fits the game's mood like a glove.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Oif10

Bottom-Line: With an amazing story, great gameplay, intuitive controls, a stylish visual presentation, and superb soundtrack, Raging Bytes is an unforgettable experience that no survival horror or JRPG fan should miss out on, as such, we give the game a nearly-perfect level of recommendation!

Review: Heirs of The Kings (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heirs To A Great Adventure!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Unname13

Developed by EXE CREATE and published by KEMCO, Heirs of The Kings is another superb retro-style JRPG by the long running publisher. How much did we enjoy our playthrough of the game? Continue reading our review to find out!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Unname14

The gameplay of Heirs of The Kings is great fun with a riveting story that's a step above most of KEMCO's previous releases which were fantastic in their own right. The game also features great gameplay that will be familiar, but also adds new elements such as a Final Fantasy X style skill board, and many new quality of life features that make this game a joy to play! The game is decent in-terms of length too, clocking-in at around 30-35 hours to beat, and though a tad easy, the game's difficult is pretty balanced and fair.

As for the audiovisual-presentation of Heirs of The Kings, it's easily one of KEMCO's finest works yet, with highly detailed and gorgeos pixel art, amazing character and enemy designs, and a very snazzy UI. While on the audio side of things, the music fits the mood as always in a KEMCO game, however the sound quality of said tracks and sound effects is a step-up and sounds like pure ear candy!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Unname16

Bottom-Line: With an amazing story, great gameplay, and a top-notch audiovisual-presentation, Heirs of The Kings is a top-notch retro-inspired JRPG that is a blast to play, and with no negatives to speak of, there's just no reason not to add this fantastic game to your Switch JRPG library and as such, we give Heirs of The Kings a nearly perfect level of recommendation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score: ★★★★★★★★★½ 9.5/10

Review: The Guise (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unique Gameplay And A Gorgeous Art Style Disguises A Middling MetroidVania.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  R_210

Developed by Rasul Mono, published by GameNet, and public relations by PR Hound, The Guise is a metroidvania with unique ideas and breathtaking visuals that fails to live up to its potential. Does this mean the game isn't good? No, the game is certainly worthwhile, at least for fans of the genre and here's why:

Topics tagged under ps5 on  20114210

The gameplay is like a mix between Metroid and Hollow Knight, but not all of the core elements mesh together too well. Some elements are overly simple, while others are somewhat convoluted. That said the unique takes on exploration and boss fights at least are on-point and quite enjoyable! The game's difficulty can be a tad easy at times, but overall the difficulty is fairly balanced so the game scores well in this regard!

The game itself is around 10-12 hours in-length so don't expect to beat it in its entirety in a single sitting. As for the controls? They are easy to learn and feel really good. Overall this is one of the game's stronger points!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  The_gu10

The audiovisual-presentation is superb and looks like if Ghibly Studio and Hollow Knight had a crossover, it looks absolutely breathtaking which makes this game quite worth diving into, despite other aspects of the game being average at times. As for the soundtrack? It fits the game nicely and is certainly quite unique while the sound effects are equally pleasing to the ears. Overall the game's audiovisual-presentation is absolutely flawless!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  20114510

Bottom-Line: With great controls, an amazing audiovisual-presentation, and unique gameplay, The Guise has a lot going for it, however many of the parts of the gameplay formula hold the game back from even coming close to reaching its potential, that said the game still is above average overall in our books and as such, we give The Guise for the Nintendo Switch a decent level of recommendation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10

Review: Sword of Elpisia (Switch eShop)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forging Solid Bonds!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Sword-10

Developed by EXE-CREATE and published by KEMCO, Sword of Elpisia is solid JRPG with an incredibly unique story even compared to other KEMCO titles we've reviewed. Does this game live up to its predecessors? We think so, but you'll need to read the rest of the review to find out why!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Sword-11

Sword of Elpisia tells a gripping story of a girl who loses everything to protect the people she cares about and her quest to regain what she's lost. As far as KEMCO games go, Sword of Elpesia's story is one of the better ones with some heavy-hitting moments that will make you feel for the characters on a level few other KEMCO games accomplish. That said the gameplay in SoE takes a huge step back from recent KEMCO titles with much more simplistic mechanics that feel quite dated and lackluster at times, but despite this there's nothing inherently wrong with it and the game is still fun if you don't mind extremely old-school gameplay.

The game has a few minor nuances such as skills being tied to your weapons for a bit of customization for your characters and the game has some decent side content such as optional recruitable animal familiars, an optional dungeon that can be unlocked in the premium shop with a small amount of premium points that can be obtained in-game, as well as post-game content, including an extra story scenario, bonus dungeon, and a battle arena to name a few of the post-game goodies.

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Elp-1-10

The game is actually pretty difficult at the higher difficulty settings so expect a challenge if you try to tackle the game on hard difficulty. The controls in the game are intuitive and easy to learn which is always nice. Now something that isn't so nice is the frequent minor frame-rate drops in the Switch version of the game, which while not a major issue did hamper our enjoyment of the game slightly at times.

As for the audiovisual-presentation, SoE is a HUGE step-up from the previous KEMCO games we've previously reviewed, visually speaking. It's not going to blow players minds or anything like that, but in-general is detailed and is quite pleasing to look at. And lastly the music fits the game's atmosphere quite well and is a bit more varied than in previous KEMCO titles, but is definitely one of the game's weak points. Still we'd say the soundtrack is still pretty good!

Topics tagged under ps5 on  Elp-410

Bottom-Line: With solid gameplay, a fantastic story, intuitive controls, and excellent retro visuals, Sword of Elpisia is a good JRPG that most fans of the genre will likely enjoy, however some performance issues do hold the game back a bit. Overall, however we believe the game is still well worth its price and therefore we give the game a good level of recommendation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10

Breaking New Ground

“Faraday Protocol moves from the traditional ways and follows rules and uses mechanics never used before, and will challenge the grey matter of the player to lateral and logical thinking.

The Story Unfolds and Scene setting - The Challenge
Set in a sterile and futuristic world, you are soon thrust into an organic forest-like environment after leaving your spacecraft. In this strange unnerving environment the player will see three Ziggurats (pyramid buildings) and will be led into one, where your intuitive powers of logic and expertise will start. The first building looks clean, sterile and in very good condition, with strong tones of black and gold. Here the player will learn the basic mechanics, and will experiment with them until he will reach the top of Ziqqurat One. Outside night has now come, and more, new mechanics will be introduced. The next building will be decaying, and will comprise a combination of all the player has previously learned. He will then face two other environments, with different tones and feels, which will bring him to the end of the game. Throughout the game, the storyline will progressively grow, as in the beginning it is limited to pre-recorded messages, it will unfold into full conversations with multiple choices.

Ziggurat


Features - Outside the Box

Multiple Solutions to succeed.

Hidden Collectables - Deviously Hidden

Immersive Soundtrack

Puzzle your way through a number of “Escape Room”- like puzzle rooms

Absorb and redistribute energy using the Bia-Tool

Unravel the mysteries of the abandoned space station OPIS

A unique blend of retrofuturism


Faraday Protocol - Its Essence - is a first person puzzler that will test your wits and intelligence. Use the Bia-Tool, an ancient pistol-like relic of an alien civilization, to solve puzzles by bending energy and manipulating enigmatic machinery. Explore the mysterious and abandoned space station OPIS and unravel the mysteries of its governing A.I. IRIS, which slumbers deep at the core of the station.


Adapting the Rules to Deliver an Ambient and Absorbing Experience for All!
